"EV Stocks to Watch: Top EV Ratings & $10 Stocks on the Move"

Wall Street took a breather Tuesday as the S&P 500 edged lower, marking a soft start to the second half of 2025 after wrapping up a remarkable quarter with record highs. The dip follows a powerful rebound from April’s lows, fueled by easing inflation fears and tech-led momentum.

Investor attention is now shifting to global trade developments. With Trump’s 90-day reprieve on his steepest tariffs set to expire next week, market participants are cautiously eyeing any progress in talks with key trading partners. While some analysts, like Horizon Investments’ Zachary Hill, see limited expectations baked into current prices, volatility could resurface if negotiations stall.

Still, the broader market has staged a dramatic turnaround. The S&P 500 surged 10.6% in Q2, while the Nasdaq soared nearly 18%, erasing losses from earlier in the year and reaffirming investor appetite for risk despite policy uncertainty.

As of 11:24 AM ET, the Dow was up 371.21 points, or 0.8418%, at $44465.99. The Nasdaq Composite lost -227.17 points, or -1.0%, at $22451.84. The S&P 500 declined -13.54 points, or -0.22%, at $6191.41. Among the 11 major S&P 500 sectors, 6 showed negative movement, with Utilities leading the way with a -3.28% decrease.
